I have a fully updated 15.04 machine and I'm still having issues with
apt cache eating up my disk. I get into a situation where `http` is my
most active process and my apt partial cache is growing quickly. See
the logs below, which show the top processes, the large file sizes in
the partial cache, and the file size growth in the partial cache. When
the disk fills completely, the system is then no longer able to boot
into unity and I am required to manually delete files with a command
line login. ..
